    We are tablet now. Haven't you noticed the pressure on the reach and frequency bullsh!t. That was one of the things that used to distinguish us from tablet. We were told in the past by leadership that they were more concerned about quality of calls and not quantity. Now that has gone right out of the window.

    So, if there is so much upside potential in adult vaccines, why are we being asked to go after the bottom of the barrel with these refer only offices to beg for ZOSTAVAX. This so called opportunity is looking more like sheer desperation. This is definitely a dial it down year.

    If everyone made a call or two more a day, this would not have become an issue. My manager sent us the call numbers. It was around 3 1/2 a day. No wonder they're on us like velcro! What could people be doing most of their day? I would probably come in at 4 or 5 at least. Maybe I am the sucker then.

    Really, keep drinking the water....Zostavax has an unrealistic objective. USHH is needing revenue and they are out of touch with the vaccine world.

    The objective is to get you to work for less money. It is very realistic that vaccine management will meet this objective.

    I agree... We have such faith in the us3c and our own pharmacy reps, they can move the mountain...D.I.D. It does not matter in the end.

    D.I.D. They can't figure out where to send us, or even how to count the sales. The only thing that they can count is rep bonuses -- zippo.

    Why work an eight hour day? Even if you do, you won't get enough sales for a bonus this year

    We will all get a bonus this year. It won't be close to target. But we will get paid based on the buckets or whatever they call it.

    Whatever you deliver this year, they will pile on another 10-15% so take it easy. No more reason to kill yourself to hit 80%.

    We aren't going to deliver this year. Management actually believes that calling on more offices who don't want to stock Zostavax is going to bring in more Zostavax. Newsflash, primary care offices don't want to hear about Zostavax because they have lost money in the past and don't want to take risk right now. We are lucky if we talk to a receptionist or an m.a. let alone a doctor. Forcing reps to call on offices that don't want to stock Zostavax is not going to work. Allowing reps to find business their own way rather than based on inaccurate market research/ reach and frequency data stands a better chance but management doesn't trust that college educated sales people with tenure can find business on their own. What a joke.

    We will be aligned again in another year because this incompetent management team is still getting it wrong in vaccines. Todd Nichols bailed for a reason, he was in over his head just like the fools who are still here micromanaging the vaccine field. They over promised on objective and underwhelmed on sales incentive. Dial it down!

    How long do you give them until they want to shuffle the deck again? Mid of next year... Or sooner if Zostavax slides any farther off plan... .?
